MSY New Orleans Aiport

Experience

Repeatability

 Just being in New Orleans makes this middle-of-the-road airport a bit better. Dominant impression: construction goes pretty slow here. It's at least a half hour drive to town from MSY, and directions are fairly clear.

BOS Logan Airport
2005

Experience

Repeatability

 Logan airport is a necessary evil. If you live right in Boston or Cambridge, it's okay, but otherwise you have to budget a solid extra hour for traffic or construction delays. The tunnels are the biggest pain (and $$ cost to go through), although the new Ted Williams tunnel is a big relief and definitely the tunnel to choose. No other alternative to the tunnels unless you're going far north on Route 1. The airport itelf is big, busy, and dirty. If only Providence was closer...

Experience

 Did the Bridgeport Hospital Homerun 5k starting at the Bluefish stadium, down around the water and back. Nice flat course for the first run of the year - was pretty hot and humid though. Cramped up in 2nd mile and had to walk some - finished in an embarrassing 34:47. Probably shouldn't have gone out drinking the night before ;)

CVG Airport
2006

Experience

Repeatability

 Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Airport is a major connections hub for Delta. Clean, open spaces. It's a shame to have to stop there when so close to other East Coast final destinations, but if you have to, it works. There's a big bar in the middle of the main terminal to relax before the next leg.

ATL Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
2005

Experience

Repeatability

 This is a very large airport, but fairly pleasant for its size. One big downside - the taxi line is always very long. Good choice for a connecting flight as delays are rare. About 20 minute drive from airport to downtown Atlanta.

Bradley International Airport
2005

Experience

Repeatability

 Not much to say about Bradley. If you live or need to go/stop over in Connecticut, it's fine, but it's a 1.5hr drive to Boston if you're considering it as an alternative. Providence is a better alternative to Logan than Hartford.

 This was the 'Sprint' format. Very tough, no doubt about it for a newbie. Maybe this tracking will help motivate for another.

Experience

 Fished out of Clinton harbor around Southwest reef. Going mainly for stripers but also blues. Mostly 3-waying eels off the bottom during drifts over dropoffs. Good day with several decent stripers.

 Caught a stand up comedy show at the Comeday Cellar on McDougal. 10$ cover, 2 drink minimum. Well worth it. The show very funny. Packed in a bit tight though.

Sleeping Giant Park
May, 2007

Experience

Repeatability

 Took the dog again to hike up sleeping giant. Entrance across the street from Quinnipiac College in Hamden Ct. Nice wide, winding gravel trail to the top (about 30-45 min) where there is a small castle and clearing. Took a marked trail through the woods back. Got a little lost but found our way back no problem when we hit a road.
